There are several small parks in the downtown
area that lend themselves to skating. Skating around just one
park can get old quickly so why not skate them all? One possible
skating route is indicated below. It stretches from Flora Wylie
Park to the Salvador Dali Museum (the south end of Poynter Park).
If you venture west to Mirror Lake Park be
careful there are several busy intersections to pass through.
The area is kind of seedy particularly around the bus station
by and including Willows Park.
Beginners should consider avoiding Mirror
Lake Park and staying north of Pioneer Park as there are more
streets to cross and some rougher surfaces.
